didn't the mayor try to introduce something but residents rejected it?

'We' voted to have a mayor so I'd be very surprised if 'we' went against something like that.

To be honest I don't see how we'd be guaranteed residential parking even if we paid x amount a year. People ignore the double-yellows and they'll ignore residential parking.

Transport is easily the worst thing about Bristoll.

Have you got any kids of school age yet?  Bristol flounders around in the relegation zone...making Swindon look safe in mid-table, which is to quote Bananarama, really saying something.

I'd say the local accent runs it a close second.

N'ah no kids yet.

My missus went to a rough Primary School in Knowle West and she's done just fine.

TBF the Bristol middle classes, mostly send their kids to fee paying schools.

I've had a works van broken into in knowle west once. Right outside the reception windows in a school. The schol staff said it was nothing to do with them despite being on school premises.

My in-laws had a local druggy break-in through the kitchen on New Years Eve while they were in the living room.

Funny thing is that the door was open....

Being in the 50+ age group I get the occasional younger person offering me his seat on the bus, tube etc. It happened in the pub at the weekend. I don't usually mind, but I was in the toilet at the time...

To be fair that hasn't been cool since 2000, so it's still a case of them being out of touch.
